- I've had a number of people that have asked for a more in depth look at how I set up my tool trailer. I am currently getting ready for a job, so I took the opportunity to capture some video of my setup.
Watched it a few times. Gave me the idea to get a small 10 or 15 ft conex box and do a similar set up. Would make life a lot easier to have secure storage on-site out of the elements. Awesome set up.
I really respect that this trailer is not just about the work, but also has a fridge and microwave. Can’t work well if you can eat right
Sure beats eating out all the time.
@@txtoolcrib Im 1 year late with comment but someone will read it. There are electric lunch boxes now on site from Ch;na. It closes fully, metal plate, and you just connect it to power and it will heat food very well. Its also not expensive, 35 euros. Its really good for workers on field.
This is super impressive, not only in terms of how well organised it is but how seriously you take your craft - I highly respect anyone who takes this much pride in their work no matter the subject
I very much appreciate that, thank you.
Funny your headed to Alabama. Currently watching from Alabama 😂
1) Great vid about not just tool organization, but business organization.
2) I wish you put up more great content like this as well.
The friend who got me into edc 15 years ago is a millwright! Keep on rocking TX Tool Crib 🤘😤
Thanks for showing us behind the scenes!
Absolutely.
Found your vid very interesting. Good rationale and explanations behind your setup. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff as I’ve just discovered your channel. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊
very organized,a place for everything,and everything in it's place.
thanks for sharing
Very cool to see your set up. I don't know what you couldn't do with a set like this. It's also nice to hear from you, I imagine you've been busy. Hope for the best for you in Alabama.
We get quite a few compliments from other contractors. All told, it took me and a helper about 2 weeks to build this trailer out.
@15:13 that TP is one of the first additions I make to any trailer, truck, or van I end up working out of.
Socks are expensive.

How about more videos about what you use it for 👍👍👍
I was wondering if you would do a video on your recommendation for tools everyone should have at their house for basic repairs, in the car for emergencies, and maybe if they want to start their own metal/wood/DIY shop in the garage etc. I myself have been thinking about buying some more tools for the house but I'm not sure what would really cover all the basics. I have a hodge podge of things, but finally bought a decent sized tool chest. I want to fill it up, but with things we'll actually use consistently not just random socket sets, Dewalt batteries and whatever else.
That’s a good idea.
Great video!
My last work trailer we kept a couple of cots and sleeping bags for the just in case
Wow...the neatest thing about your set-up is that you know how to use everything in it...do you have occasion to do maintenance on your tools & equipment? I imagine when you pack everything up you follow similar principles that are used on cargo planes...there is a "panel" on the right-hand side next to your ladders...is that a door? Good video!
Yeah that’s the side access door. After we unload everything we usually just use that door exclusively.
@@txtoolcrib I thought so...I recognized the trailer...you had done a "sneak-peak" of it a while ago...I also recognized the slide hammer you used to remove a stubborn shaft...when you mentioned the Knaak, remembered how roomy it was & some of the refinements you made...I hope you have a good trip to Alabama...stay safe...
Damn nice 👍 subbed.👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
How do you keep it all from being stolen? I hate to say it but so many friends have issues with tools being stolen. Thank you for the tour and your channel .
It’s something you have to be conscious about. A lot of places we work have good security. We take a lot of precautions to ensure it is not easy to steal anything.
Great setup. How do you keep track of the tools at a site? Do you put everything back on the trailer at night?
Everything in center isle is locked up out on location, the remaining tools get locked in the trailer at night. In rare instances when we are on an unsecured site, everything gets reloaded or we rent a separate storage unit to lock things up.

Awesome setup, thanks for the in-depth tour, not sure if i missed it, but is there a certain type of millwright work you commonly do?
I install and repair industrial media blasting rooms and paint booths. I also construct, refurbish, and maintain industrial feed mills and grain elevators.
@@txtoolcrib Very cool! Some footage of work site if possible would be an awesome experience to see! Thanks for all the work you do for the videos, Cheers from Niagara Falls Canada

What is in the aluminum boxes? nice video, watched it several times.
Key stock, all thread for epoxy anchors, 60 and 80 series chain parts, fender washers, cable swaging parts, cable clamps, etc…
Thanks, really appreciate your response.
Love this trailer! What size square tubing did you use for your vertical wall support?
The walls of the trailer use 1” square tubing I believe, original to the trailer. I don’t remember for sure but I think we used inch and a quarter for the shelving components.
@@txtoolcrib that’s Awsome man! I’d love to see a side view. I’m building a trailer with 1/2 walk in storage, 1/2 flatbed with my welder, and a service crane….
Where in Alabama are you guys headed to work? What type of work do y’all do predominately?
We are working in the Birmingham area. We install and refurbish industrial blast rooms.
Do you bring any equipment like, scissor lifts, with you to jobs?
We usually rent them locally.
got a place for a bench grinder and table vice?
Don’t use a bench grinder. We have a vise and a pipe vise the get mounted to the top of the mechanic box.
Very nice trailer. Do you happen to remember the dimensions for your rigging storage?
For the rigging straps I believe 5’6 tall and takes up 4 ft of the wall.
How do you get the welder back in? I know that thing is heavy
Generally by forklift, but we can manually pull them up the ramps as well.
I'm an expérience industrial mechanic and wish to have a millwright certificat
Man where did you get those saw horses i can’t find em anywhere now?

How much does the trailer way loaded? How long is it? Thanks,
24 ft deck, about 15,000 lbs fully loaded
3 weeks since your last video. Are you on a job, that's taking up all your time?
Yeah I am.
@@txtoolcrib and that job is still going on :-)
Yeah, probably until the middle of January.
What part of Alabama you headed to? You in my neck of the woods
Birmingham
@@txtoolcrib I’m in West Central Alabama, 40 miles East of Meridian Mississippi
Ok a millwright needs rags
What brand is the trailer?
CM Route66
I was quite surprised to see a dearth of items and support for same for cameras, memory cards, chargers & other impedimentia associated with your CZcams videos..?! How and where DO you store snd transport these items? I'm certainly NO mill-wright, but as a retired I/T geek I'm enough of an applied technologist to know that ther's plenty enough of the items mentioned tp fill a sizeable % of that trailer. Also, what do you do for I/Net connectivity, as well as general admin. space when working out of the trailer?
All that asked, I'm moved to observe that you've obviousy put MUCH thought into a damn nice rig...!
Nice set up. But the wiring you did is a horrible embarrassment.
Why?
@@txtoolcrib doesn’t look like it measures up to the other work you’ve put into the trailer. Oh and I might mention I’m a retired electrician.
What would your recommendation be?
What brand is the trailer?
CM, but they stopped building them. WW trailers builds a similar one.
